Summary

I am a dedicated professional with over 11 years of experience in insurance and finance, specializing in risk management, client solutions, and financial reporting. With 4 years in short-term insurance (focusing on trucking, GIT, and commercial sectors) and 7 years in finance, I bring strong expertise in underwriting, risk assessment, bookkeeping, and preparing financials for small to medium-sized businesses. I hold an RE qualification and am working towards full accreditation in short-term insurance by August 2025. Known for my initiative, self-motivation, and strong communication skills, I thrive in dynamic environments and maintain high work standards. I am committed to continuous professional development and always eager to learn and grow.
